Can confirm.
Every company party I've been at in the USA is incredibly tame and managers/senior staff in many instances aren't allowed to drink/fraternize with underlings for fear of a drunken fling resulting in #metoo. One of my mates works for a massive high end furniture supplier and if someone he manages even happens to walk in to the same bar as he's in, he's not allowed to chat or drink with them and HR's advice is actually to leave the premises.
I remember my last job in the UK, one friday when the boss went at about 3pm, "fuck it, everyone to the pub on the corner right now" - 12 of got so steaming we us had to leave our cars overnight at work, our SO's called and be poured in to cabs home.

Can't say I've had the most exciting of Fridays.
I downloaded a bunch of music production tutorials so I could watch them at Kaoru's farm. And, here I am, watching the Denver Nuggets play because they remind me of McDonald's. I'm a simple man.

Maybe I just work at tame companies. |
I'm convinced tame companies are a Midwest thing. Both in the US and here in Brazil. We're in the middle of nowhere, living in the frontiers of civilisation, so we have to stay vigilant and watchful and polite at all times. We can't be intoxicated in case a puma shows up. We have to be ready to offer them tea. Or something.
I, for one, don't think I've ever seen a tipsy colleague, let alone an impaired drunkard with enough alcohol to have inflammable veins who I'd have to face again at work the following week. I have a feeling it would be frowned upon in most workplaces around here. Or maybe it's just academia

We had Christmas lunch at work today, well not at work but in the bar of the nearby indoor Snowworld ski paradise here, which has more space as with the factory people we're now at 160. |
I wish we had one around here
